The concept and strategy of translanguaging are increasing in multilingual English as a foreign language (EFL) classrooms to promote students’ academic performance by using their multi-linguistic resources. Teachers and learners often have experiences using two or more languages for pedagogical purposes where translanguaging practices are implemented. Translanguaging pedagogy uses the students’ existing linguistic knowledge to learn new language skills. Against this backdrop, this research studies EFL teachers’ perspectives towards translanguaging practices in EFL classrooms. This study used a case study of the qualitative method as a research design. I collected data for this study using semi-structured interviews and selected the research participants through purposive selection. The participants were four English teachers from two secondary schools located in the Darchula district of Nepal. I utilized keyword analysis to analyze the data. Based on the results, all participants used translanguaging in different situations in their EFL classrooms. They were using translanguaging practices in EFL classrooms with positive attitudes although they had different feelings towards translanguaging. Moreover, most EFL teachers indicated that the space for translanguaging practices would be enhanced more in multilingual EFL classrooms in the coming days. These findings shed light on the significance and use of translanguaging as multilingual pedagogical practices and further research directions.

By studying attitude, we will know how those people evaluate translanguaging based on their real experiences.…”

Previous studies have shown that the majority of teachers tend to be receptive towards translanguaging practices (Khairunnisa Lukmana, 2020; McMillan Rivers, 2011; Nambisan, 2014; Yuvayapan, 2019). However, in Indonesian context, there are relatively few studies in this field employing a case study design to reveal more detailed information. This study was aimed at investigating teachers' attitudes towards translanguaging practices and how the practices took place. The participants were four English teachers from two private junior high schools located in East Nusa Tenggara and Central Java, Indonesia. The data were collected by using questionnaires, semi-structured interviews, and observations. The analysis reveals that all participants implemented translanguaging in several typical situations in their EFL classrooms. Despite participants' various feelings towards translanguaging, they still use translanguaging in their teaching and associated translanguaging with positive attributes. Moreover, the majority of teacher participants had positive intentions towards translanguaging in their future class. These findings shed light on a multilingual pedagogical practices and further research directions.
